I just saw that half-a-dozen of Terhune's books are in the Kindle store for free (public domain). They include his most famous dog novels and a mystery. They were written around the 1920-1930 era and were extremely popular in the day.
Sappy, sentimental, and mostly unrealistic canine behavior (IIRC), but good, clean family stories well told. I read them all as a teen-ager and liked them very much. We'll see if they hold up now that I'm a real old guy.
I also got the mystery. I didn't know he wrote any mysteries, but I saw some good reviews, so I'll give it a try.
There are reports of a few minor typos.
